Romans 6:2 : God forbid. We who died to sin, how shall we any longer live therein? In physical death a person no longer lives the life which he formerly lived. And so the sinner dies to the life of sin in that life he no longer lives. A sinner dies to sin, and there is one less sinner in this world. Paul says: "I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ liveth in me" (Galatians 2:20). When Paul became a Christian, there was one less sinner in the world as certainly and definitely as if he had died physically and been buried at Damascus. And that death is repeated every time a person becomes a Christian. How shall we continue in sin, since we are dead to sin?
